Amazing! In today's world of NO customer service and only internal focus, The RJS Law firm and Chandara in particular completely changed my perspective. Due to a complicated personal situation, I found myself in a difficult position with the IRS. One call and I can not tell you how relieved I am. I can breathe again, and what is even more amazing- I do not need an attorney. Chandara advised me on how to resolve this myself. It would have been easy to just take my money and add further stress to the situation, but she didn't. I believe that nothing but good can come from true acts of kindness, so I truly thank her and RJS for outstanding service and should I ever need an attorney- she will be my first call.- Michele W.

Calling this firm put me at ease. I had sleepless nights as I was procrastinating to take care of my problems; I didn’t know how to go about them. Seeking legal help is always a good way to go, as they are more suited for the job. Chandara has guided me through the process of my stressful situation. No strings attached but I couldn’t let go, I truly recommend them. They will give you sincere and honest answers at all times. I couldn’t be more at ease with my family taking this a step at a time.- Kimberly

I have been a tax client of RJS Law for nearly 10 years. Mr. Shamoun and his team have always delivered results above and beyond my expectations. My attorney has always been just a phone call away when I need advice. I would highly recommend RJS Law to anyone in need of representation for tax related matters! - Brad

My grandmother and I called RJS LAW because she fell behind on her business taxes. She no longer owns the business so she wanted to get back on track and settle that debt. Brendan was very informative and very helpful. We set up a consultation and everyone at the firm was very polite. Brendan helped us create a plan so that we can get resolution to the problem. He helped turn this insurmountable issue into something manageable going forward. I highly recommend this place!- Deana

With no doubt I have to say I have the best advice going forward. I was in the military residing from California but I was stationed in Texas and I didn’t know my filing requirements. Not only I got my questions answered by they gave me free knowledge that I wouldn’t ever had known. I feel comfortable with filing now and going forward I will know what’s best for me. The best thing I liked about this firm is that they answered right away! Transferred my call to an attorney and got it done! In no time! Highly professional and helpful!- Karla

We worked with Brad Paladini on an appeal for an Offer in Compromise we previously submitted on our own. Looking back we should have hired RJS BEFORE we tried submitting an OIC on our own. Brad was amazing to work with on the OIC appeal and literally saved us over $100,000 in taxes. Didn’t show any judgement, took over all the IRS communications and helped us get all the paperwork the IRS was requesting. He fought for us like a bulldog to win the appeal. We are so thankful we found RJS LAW through Yelp and decided to write a review to pay it forward!- Holly

RJS LAW San Diego came to us highly recommended. The firm delivers with precision, tact and professionalism. They are not cheap, but cheap doesn’t always deliver. Ronnie Shamoun, Quinn Disparte, and their associates treated our case with respect, dignity, empathy and speed. They were able to get our case dismissed timely, as promised and without any of the associated headaches that normally come with the territory. The end result was tremendous peace of mind. If that is what your ultimate goal is you need not look any further.- Mandana
